Naypyitaw joins nationwide protest on bikes
Three weeks after seizing power, the junta has failed to stop daily protests and a civil disobedience movement calling for the reversal of the February 1 coup and the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
There were protests in cities and towns across the country on Monday (February 22), from the northern hills on the border with China to the central plains, the Irrawaddy river delta and the southern panhandle.
In a country where dates are seen as auspicious, protesters noted the significance of the date 22.2.2021, comparing it with demonstrations on August 8, 1988 when a previous generation staged anti-military protests which were bloodily suppressed.
